About 40 minutes from central Beijing outside rush hour; gate car parks are small — arrive before 8:00 or use park-and-ride.

From Capital or Daxing airports, allow 60–90 minutes; from Beijing North or Qinghe stations the garden is a short taxi or Line 4 ride.
By Sightseeing Tram
The Xijiao Line tram links Bagou (transfer from Line 10) with the garden's West Gate for ¥3–4, running every 10–12 minutes, then continues to the Botanical Garden and Fragrant Hills.
Getting Around
The park is explored on foot; shuttles and lake ferries connect the main shores in season. Wheelchair routes follow the lakeside promenade; the hill paths involve steps.
